It's raining big bucks over at Nvidia as their quarterly take over Christmas saw around $1.25 billion in revenue, driven largely by the spike in demand for their Maxwell GPU range, like those found in the GeForce GTX 980.

In fact they say a 38% rise in sales, up by 9% from the same period last year. Total revenue for year was $4.7 billion, with actual profits at $630 million. They didn't reveal Nvidia Shield figures.

Richard Hilleman, chief creative officer for Electronic Arts, has said during the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas that games "are actually still too hard to learn," citing that the average player spends "two hours" learning.

That's a "big ask" for some, he says, what what family commitments and stuff. His remarks were in response to event host Pete Holmes who said he'd like controller layouts to 'remain the same'.
